Polestar 3 Performance Review: Faster, Smarter, Better

Polestar refreshed the 2026 Polestar 3 Performance with a major electrical architecture upgrade to 800V, promising quicker charging, higher efficiency and a significant output jump to 680 hp. The SUV accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and extends its WLTP range to 373 miles even with a slightly smaller battery. Polestar also adds a more powerful NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin computer to expand the potential for ADAS features. For charging, it supports up to 350 kW, completing 10-80% in 22 minutes. Driving is aided by active air suspension, tuned for both comfort and sporty handling. It won’t be available in the USA due to legislative issues.
